ABSTRACT
Because of their documented long-term success rates, dental implants have become a predictable treatment option to replace hopeless or missing teeth. However, full-arc transition from a hopeless dentition to a prosthesis supported by dental implants remains a challenge. One treatment option for this process is the use of transitional implants, an approach that allows for the transitioning of full-arch reconstructions from teeth to implant-supported prostheses without immediate loading the permanent implants or the need for provisional removable partial dentures. This article, which presents a long-term clinical case report, describes the steps and sequence of therapy involved in transitioning from a hopeless dentition to a maxillary full-arch implant-supported fixed prosthetic rehabilitation with the use of transitional implants, avoiding removable provisional prostheses. An assessment of the 20-year follow-up, dental implant survival rates, and marginal bone loss is also presented.
